OPINION - Tracey Emin: Why I cry every time I come to New York

Every time I come to New York I cry. I don’t cry a little, I cry a lot. It doesn’t matter what I’m doing, who I’m with, if it’s hot or if it’s cold, thick snow or boiling humid, damp heat, I’m still going to cry.

OPINION - Tracey Emin: I can’t cope with the atrocities

I’ve never been able to cope with time, any kind of time. It’s why I’ve never been able to sit an exam and can’t get out the house for important events. In fact the more important, the later I will be.

OPINION - Tracey Emin: I’m finally happy to take my work to America - and the just-opened White Cube New York

Back in the Nineties, I was accused of being a narcissist. Blindly myopic and self-obsessed. Thirty years later there is still no greater insult than to be called a narcissist in the cultural world. I’ve always used my life and myself as subject matter. I have never painted pictures, only…

OPINION - Tracey Emin: My boyfriend patted my tummy and said, ‘Hello, we’re going to kill you’

All this week I wanted to buy a tree. Today would have been my day but instead I’m sitting in bed with little Teacup by my side. She keeps puddy pawing the pink fluffy blanket that half covers us both, her little striped paws kneading away, making me feel cosy…

OPINION - Tracey Emin: Living without love (again)

I still don’t feel well, my mind is so scrambled, heart keeps pounding, eyes keep burning and living hurts. That’s how it feels living without love, an inner torture like a giant panic button going off. The sound of screaming I WILL NEVER LOVE OR BE LOVED AGAIN.

OPINION - Tracey Emin: It’s different when you are in love

OPINION - No wonder Londoners are flocking to Kent — I’ve never looked back

In the autumn of 2013 my husband and I moved to the wilds of East Kent from the suburbs of south London. We left because we wanted all the cliches every jaded Londoner wants: clear skies at night, a soundtrack of birdsong instead of sirens and a house that could…
